The premise of this book is that a "soul wound" of colonialism has visited trauma on indigenous people and that through stories and strategies grounded in an indigenous worldview, healing may take place. Author Linklater is both a member of Rainy River First Nations in Northwestern Ontario and the manager of Aboriginal Community Engagement in the Provincial Support Program at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto. She starts the book with the line "This is a story." The author offers her story as one of many that are elements of healing work being done in indigenous communities. The book is structured around the author's story and the stories of ten other indigenous health practitioners. At the same time, as a PhD candidate, Linklater bases much of her thinking on research. These two strands--the grounding in an indigenous framework and working with academic research methods--weave together here. Nonetheless, the author states that she has written this book primarily for the use of community-based people. Distributed by Brunswick Books of Toronto, Canada.

In Decolonizing Trauma Work, Renee Linklater explores healing and wellness in Indigenous communities on Turtle Island. Drawing on a decolonizing approach, which puts the âsoul woundâ of colonialism at the centre, Linklater engages ten Indigenous health care practitioners in a dialogue regarding Indigenous notions of wellness and wholistic health, critiques of psychiatry and psychiatric diagnoses, and Indigenous approaches to helping people through trauma, depression and experiences of parallel and multiple realities. Through stories and strategies that are grounded in Indigenous worldviews and embedded with cultural knowledge, Linklater offers purposeful and practical methods to help individuals and communities that have experienced trauma. Decolonizing Trauma Work, one of the first books of its kind, is a resource for education and training programs, health care practitioners, healing centres, clinical services and policy initiatives. - Fernwood Pr
